Torridge District Council covers Bideford, Northam, Great Torrington, Holsworthy and the rural villages of north-west Devon. It runs a sack-and-box service — black sacks for refuse, kerbside-sort boxes for recycling — with weekly recycling and food but fortnightly refuse.
Torridge uses black sacks for rubbish and sorts recycling into boxes at the kerb, with recycling and food weekly but refuse fortnightly. It's a lot to keep straight. My Bin Day texts you the evening before each collection so the right containers go out. Just £0.99 a month, no ads, cancel anytime.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Torridge. You can also check the council's own page at torridge.gov.uk.
Torridge collects general refuse in black sacks fortnightly (there are no wheelie bins here — sacks suit the rural lanes), with recycling and food collected weekly. Recycling is kerbside-sorted: a green box for plastics, tins and cans, with paper and glass separated at the kerb. Food waste goes in a caddy weekly. Garden waste is a paid subscription (around £57 a year, brown bin or bags) collected fortnightly. Devon County Council handles disposal.
My Bin Day is 99p a month — less than a coffee a year. Cancel any time by replying STOP to a reminder and you won't be charged again.
Yes. We track Torridge's published schedule, including the shifts that bank holidays and seasonal changes cause, so your reminder always reflects the real collection date.
No — My Bin Day is an independent service and is not affiliated with Torridge or any council. We simply read the council's published collection schedule and send you a friendly reminder.
